Milk Coffee and Ave 613 Entry

Hello my crafty peeps.  Welcome back to my blog.  It's safe here..everyone knows me...lol  I have a sweet little card for y'all using an image from Milk Coffee.  Our theme was to use the colors of your Country...soooo red white and blue it is.

 I told y'all she was cute.  I printed her out on Crafter's Companion card stock and used my colored pencils and OMS to give her life.  I then die cut her and embossed it, adding some Lady Bug Memento ink around the edges.  I then matted the image onto a panel of dark blue from Recollections.

 This is the inside of the card.  I used two stamps from Cloud 9's American set.  I stamped the fireworks in Lady Bug Memento Ink and Bahama Blue Memento Ink.  The sentiment is stamped in TCP Real Red ink. I added a DP from Colorbok's Americana pad and then a panel of Red from Recollections and then the white panel.  This card is a Z fold card turned sideways.  Here's a pic of what it looks like from the side..

I used my EK Success  Mini Star punch to create the embellishments.   That's it.  Pretty simple, but nice.

I am also entering this card into the Ave 613 challenge..birthdays..as this is America's Birthday Card.

Thanks for joining me today.  I pray y'all have a great night.  God bless.
